Its like ectos. They would be an amazing way of making money (like in GW1), if not EVERYONE needed stacks after stacks after stacks of ectos since so many darn recipes need them and all legendaries need roughly 2 stacks…

Just like to point out that because EVERYONE needs them, it makes ectos very lucrative to obtain.

Yeah, if people didn’t need stack after stack of ectos they wouldn’t be worth anything meaningful (and therefore rares wouldn’t be worth much as their primary purpose is to create ectos, but with lower rare values generic exotics would cost less [because of mystic forge upgrades] and if generic exotics cost less the acquisition cost of precursors would go down, but if the acquisition cost of precursors went down, legendary seekers would have more available currency to purchase other legendary items which would make lodestones and T6 mats more expensive, that would drive up the price of T5 and lower mats because of mystic forge promotion, and THAT would cause…)
